HC Deb 26 October 1939 vol 352 c1580W
Mr. Lewis

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will state, as at the latest convenient date, the approximate total value of buildings insured in this country against the risk of destruction by fire?

Mr. Stanley

No statistics are available as to the total value of buildings insured in this country against the risk of destruction by fire; but estimates which have been published of the total value of buildings in the United Kingdom have varied from about £6,000 millions to £10,000 millions.
